It rained very heavily all night.
This morning the roads and ground are all flooded.
We chatted about flooding today, looked up all about floods on our interactive board, then put our STEM skills to good use and designed our own flood defences.
This included: Working in pairs to design a flood barrier. Costing materials and working within a budget. Working with three pairs to form a team. Electing a foreman for each team. Buying the supplies. Constructing the flood barrier.
Next came the most exciting part of all: Testing out our flood defences. Our LEGO man had to survive a sudden flood!
We used all our skills of curiosity, questioning, problem solving, predicting, creating, collaborating, communicating, critical thinking, evaluating, finding information, offering explanations for our findings.
We enjoyed learning about and using all we know from Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.
We love STEM!!!
